I am the OP on this post and I'd like to thank EVERYONE who has taken the time to respond to my posts and questions.

UPDATED June 8, 2018 Thanks, but Never Mind...we faxed in a Wilderness Permit Application yesterday and just received confirmation that we obtained a Glen Aulin permit for Sept 3rd. I had assumed that no permits were available before looking at the Full Campground report. My bad. Kinda surprised (happy surprised) to have gotten a permit so late in the game.
